Stunning snow activity

5.00The snow shoe hike was a fantastic activity in winter wonderland. Our son (11yrs) had a blast too. We had great conditions and our passionate guides (Ole and David) lead us to the most scenic viewpoints, where they shared local meat delicacies and hot chocolate after preparing first row snow seats to enjoy the stunning view. Our guides are clearly clued up on mountain safety and it is inspiring to see their connection to nature and their joy guiding. It was also fun to be in the car with David, we had great chats and we learned a lot about Bergen and its surroundings. Could not have been better!

Amazing Hike and Exceptional Guides

5.00This tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The tour guides were very welcoming and friendly when we arrived and very informative of the tour we would be taking. The hike itself was really fun and the views were breathtaking at the top of the hill. On the way down we stopped in a cabin in which the guides provided us with traditional Norwegian snacks and stories of the local areas which was really engaging and a very enjoyable experience. To top it all off, Tor, our guide went above and beyond to aid my partner and I get to the airport under a tight time constraint to catch our flight. It really summed up an amazing day with the best guides in Norway!
It was my first time...

5.00What an amazing day out. We thoroughly enjoyed the snow shoe hike. Ole was brilliant, knowledgeable, funny and overall a superb guide. Ole really went out of his way to make our experience unforgettable. With it being Easter he even brought us some chocolate 😋. Thanks again Ole, you made an unforgettable new experience even more memorable.
Unforgettable experience!!

5.00We absolutely loved every second of our winter mountain snowshoe hike adventure. Our guide Ole was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, very patient and a lot of fun. He insured that we were comfortable the entire time and also allowed us a lot of freedom on the hike. He was also very interesting and great to talk to. The experience run smoothly from starts finish – from pick up in Bergen city centre to collection of the gear to the hike itself. We were very lucky with the weather – it was a lovely day with blue skies, and the hike was extremely picturesque. However, I think we would have enjoyed the experience regardless because of our amazing guide. All in all, it was a perfect hike with great weather and a new friend in Ole. The hike was approximately 10 km round-trip with some significant elevation – however, I have full confidence that the guide would have tailored this to our fitness levels. I will not only be recommending this experience to my friends – but I will be returning myself for more in the future.
Perfecte snowshoe wandeling, zelfs nog in maart!

5.00This was an amzing snowshoe trip. Although in Bergen there was no snow the two guides drove us up the mountain and we spend a good couple of hours there snowshoeing! Two guides on a small group (6-7). Looking after us very well regarding safety and to fully enjoy our trip! Well done Norway Mountain Guides!
Highly recommend! Best time!

5.00Very pleasant activity in the company of our guide Øystein. We had a lot of fog but we still had a great day of snowshoeing. Øystein explained a lot to us about Norway and we were treated to a stop in a heated cabin with hot drinks and reindeer sausage!! Thank you for this experience which I recommend
